Edwards to Host First US Supersonic Airshow in 13 Years

נשלח לפני
 
For the first time since 2009, the birthplace of supersonic flight is about to have an air show open to the public on-base. And considering the history of Edwards AFB and flight testing done there, the lineup and variety of aircraft will be quite unique from any other air show in the nation. (avgeekery.com) עוד...

I saw chuck Yeager break the sound barrier in a McDonald Douglas Phantom 4 at Edwards Air Force Base! 28,000 feet
It was very interesting to see the distortion ring of sound before it got to you!

Edwards has a great tour of the facility which includes a tour of the NASA facility. Best to check for up-to-date schedules and availability. Off the 14 FWY about 1~1.5hrs from LA. What history!They have it all. FYI, Palmdale airport is on the way there where the 'Skunk Works' is located. Possibly tours available there also.

Kind of surprised at this article.
Robins AFB has F-15s do supersonic runs all the time, post depot maintenance. Generally above FL400, but you can hear, and sometimes feel them.

Oh, we hear plenty of them here in the Edwards area too. However, this is an actual planned "demo" run during a public airshow, not just noise incidental to routine ops.

Really wish I could be there. I did get to go the the '97 50th anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier on Oct 14, 1947.

Where can I sign up to get notification for the 2023 event? This place is in the middle of nowhere and it takes planning to attend.

Paul, it is only Monday and already I am triggered for the week. You mean to tell me that everything in life is not going to catered to and handed to us? You are a hurtful person.

I was thinking of going but the SoCal weather has been flaky. Anyway, some of my plane spotting buddies from YouTube will be live streaming, so I will get the experience but not the traffic.
